Sony RX100 Left on Top of Car Leads to Unintentional Teardown
Phil Wright got his hands on the Sony RX100 — the camera David Pogue was raving about — shortly after it was released back in June. It didn't survive very long.
Earlier this month, Wright was rushing to work in the darkness of the early morning when he placed his coffee and his black camera bag on top of his car. When he arrived at work 22 miles and 25 minutes later with coffee in hand, he suddenly realized that his camera was nowhere to be found. After panicked call to his wife back home, she made the discovery: camera roadkill 300 yards from their house.

When is Buying 1 Percent of a Site for $5 Million a Super Deal ?
On the Facebook model, a site that can attract a lot of users - like Facebook, said to be approaching a billion users - could be valued at $100 billion. A one percent share of that is worth 1/100th of $100 Billion or $1 billion (that*s the math, right?). So if you can buy 1% of a site that could get to that level (just by adding a few bells and whistles) for $5 million (or 100% for 100 times that, $500 million, i.e., 1/2 billion) - then by just adding those bells and whistles to attract those users and make your site approach a value of $100 billion after you just invested $5 million for 1% (or $500 million, 1/2 a billion, for 100%) would mean you would make 200 times your money as its value approached $100 billion - is that right? Is there any error in that math?
So the question is: where could you find such a buy to pick up at such a cheap price ?

Who Ruined Our Economy - Republicans or Democrats ?
Since WW II Repubs made strong recoveries * Now z Democrats say they don*t * It was Dem govt misdirecting banks ruined z economy, not Republicans. The Republicans had no idea of - certainly never authorized - all the rotten deception and chicanery the liberal New York banksters were up to. It was the Democrats who mis-directed their pals in the big New Yor Fraudster Banks - the Banksters - who ruined the economy .. not the Repubicans, not even Greenspan. Even Alan Greenspan had no idea what the New York Trickster Banks were up to as they set our economy up for the fall. If we want a strong economoic recovery, we need to get back to the sound Republican economics that enabled this country to end slavery and brought great recoveries ever since World War II. But if you want a reminder of what we in for more of were we to make the disastrous mistake of re-electing oBama - in spite of his record of complete failure (only the fundamental underpinnings of the U.S. economy have brought us any recovery at all, and that in spite of oBama, not because of him - you could check out

BS oBama
* oBama says the US is OK but he has badly cut drilling on federal lands driving up prices at the pump, stil has not stopped pitching the unrealistic idea of running your cars on sunlight and algae and gambling our billions of tax dollars on payback donations favoring the businesses of his supporters, spending us into the poorhouse, trying to get away with telling farm families not to let their kids learn farming by doing it on the family farm, a union payback (though he was forced off the policy for now). BS oBama also set up the massive 0ver-Waste of oBamaScare, a waste of 2-3 years which the Supreme Court is now hopefully about to kill, exposing oBama's vast attempt at unconstitutional seizure of massive federal power. His administration just tried to force all Americans into unions (the new slavery, now to union bosses of which oBama wants to be chief), spending us into the poorhouse (did I say that? IT CANNOT BE TWEETED ENOUGH ! ). He is gutting our military exposing us to new terrorist threats, has corrupted his administration with prostitutional junkets distracting our Secret Service, etc, etc, etc. What of all this did Hitler not do in Germany, or Mao in China ? Such disasters at the hands of "Cool Guy" BS oBama cannot be tweeted enough. Do you think political disasters happen with lots of warning and all at once ? No! They take time to develop, beginning with those sorts of things - and don't forget the Occupy Fiasco (Break Things Up with Lots of Disorder for oBama to campaign on) run by oBama supporters!

BWW Reviews: YOUR FAMILY SUCKS - A Brilliant and Darkly Humorous Examination of Game Show Culture
Before reality TV ruled the primetime airwaves, game shows were all the rage. It seemed that everyone you talked to wanted to compete on The Price is Right, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, or Jeopardy. Game show culture is still alive and well in American society, with people wanting to be on Minute to Win It and Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, but most people long to be a character on The Bachelor, Big Brother, or Survivor.
Yet, the world premiere of Abby Koenig's YOUR FAMILY SUCKS being produced by Horse Head Theatre Company is taking us back to the hey-day of Game Show Culture and using it to explore the functionally dysfunctional modern American family. With a wit and schema for creating characters that is reminiscent of Pulitzer Prize Winning writer David Lindsay-Abaire, Abby Koenig's Taubin family is strikingly realistic, hilarious, and heartbreaking all at the same time.
Molly Taubin wants the family to be on Your Family Sucks, a show she hates, because she saw an interview with Ronnie Horowitz, the original Heb-Pop (Hebrew-Pop) Star where he claimed to love the show. Molly thinks if she can profess her love for Ronnie Horowitz on air that he will take her away from her family, marry her, and live with her on his ranch. Despite constantly bickering with her sister, Molly convinces Annie to help persuade their parents to allow them to compete. The plot examines both girls' struggles within and outside of their family and the way that flash-in-the-pan celebrity may affect them. After all, Your Family Sucks is the American pastime of The Common man!
Direction by Kevin Jones and Ivy Castle keeps the two-hour one act play moving at a decent pace. The middle drags a bit, but the play rights itself for its finale. I did find myself wishing that an intermission had been included in the middle portion of the show. The characters and plot were vastly engrossing, but two hours is a long time to sit in a metal folding chair. Despite this, no character seems inappropriately played and each one maintains a tangible aura of believability from beginning to end. As if the two lead actresses were not relatable enough, the schoolyard scene with them and their peers ensures that audience will not only believe that these characters are real people but also have empathy and sympathy for their individual journeys.
Also, Abby Koenig's script along with Kevin Jones and Ivy Castle's direction utilizes audience participation. This trick really engages the audience in the production and makes them truly connect with the piece. Audience participation, in all honesty, becomes almost like a character itself, which is supremely fun!
Caroline Menefee as Annie Taubin is fantastic. She commands the stage and makes the audience love her and empathize with her. As a high school aged teenager she is lost in a journey of self-discovery, which makes her all the more relatable. The audience's heart breaks when she has to forfeit an afternoon at school to go home and help her manic-depressive mother dye her hair. It is the realization that Annie is more mature than either of her parents that tinges this comedy with depressing undertones, which are masterfully brought out and played by Caroline Menefee. Striving to keep her parents happy. Her grades up, and discover herself, her struggles seem the hardest and Caroline Menefee breathes fantastic life into the character, making the audience believe in Annie's dreams and hopes as much as she does.
Molly Taubin, played by Reagan Lukefahr, is pretty but dumb. She is supposedly the exact foil to her sister; however, Caroline Menefee is too pretty in the show to play ugly. Thus, the ugly/pretty debate comes down to hair color and clothing style. Reagan Lukefahr does an excellent job portraying the pretty mean girl and the girl with an unhealthy obsession with a celebrity. In the schoolyard scene, her doses of indirect aggression against her sister and sister's friend are delightfully mean and completely realistic, showcasing another place where the writing and direction resplendently present real people to the audience.
Abby Thompson's Nicole Mariano is a fully realized portrait of childhood tragedy. She is constantly coming over to the Taubin household because her parents are never home, which is a sad reminder of how uninvolved many parents are in their children's lives these days. Like Caroline Menefee's Annie, Abby Thompson's Nicole is a sage and wise character, especially for her age. Her scene with Annie shows how insightfully keen both the girls are, and is one of the deepest moments in the play.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Wind power may well be the least environmentally friendly idea ever proposed by environmentalists. That certainly seems to be the verdict of those who live near proposed and actual wind farm developments in both the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />US and UK.
Conservationists as committed as Sen. Edward Kennedy (D.-Mass.) and British television personality Dr. David Bellamy have come out against proposed uses of the technology. As a result, a degree of civil war has broken out in the environmental movement, with accusations of "NIMBYism" (the acronym refers to an aversion to new infrastructure projects, standing for Not In My Back Yard) flying around. One might even say that the controversy is generating a great deal of hot air.
The arguments over the proposed Cape Cod Wind Farm are a case in point. The proposal to build the USA's first offshore commercial wind-powered electricity generator in the waters off Cape Cod is partly a response to Massachusetts' new law requiring about 100,000 homes to be powered by renewable energy sources by 2009. The farm would consist of 170 wind turbines, each about 40 stories tall and covering over 28 square miles of shallow water off Hyannis, MA, and Martha's Vineyard. The farm would generate 420 megawatts of power. Proponents claim that this would replace the equivalent of 500,000 tons of coal or 113 million gallons of oil each year.
Yet the proposed benefits are not enough for some influential environmentalists. Citing the lack of a "programmatic environmental impact statement" and the absence of suitable state and federal scrutiny, Sen. Kennedy called the arguments for the project "loud rhetoric," writing in the Cape Cod Times, where he said, "Far more is at stake in the decision than our back yards, and I make no apology for opposing this project now." Sen. Kennedy and other locals are joined by national conservation groups such as the Humane Society of the United States, the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the International Wildlife Coalition. They point out that large marine wind turbine projects "may fragment vital bird habitat and alter migratory pathways."
Other environmental groups dismiss these concerns. Gary Skulnick of Greenpeace told the Cape Cod Times that, "Wind turbines don't make a lot of noise; they don't spew toxic chemicals. If I lived in the area, I would feel great about being on the cutting edge of innovation in this area. … You have to think of the big picture. If we don't reduce global warming, then Nantucket and all the beautiful beaches are going to disappear."
Similar arguments are talking place in the UK, although the issue is much further along as many wind farms have already been built. A long article in London's Observer on October 5 pointed out the many and varied objections locals and environmentalists are raising against the wind farms springing up around the country in an effort to meet the United Kingdom government's target of generating 10 percent of electricity from renewable sources by 2010.
Self-professed "left-wing environmentalist," Martin Wright, told the paper: "Since the Second World War, there's been a consensus that landscape matters…. That's broken down here. If people in London knew the place, they would be appalled. And yet we're portrayed as nuclear-loving nimbies in the press…. Wind turbines are a good idea in the right place.… But sticking hundreds of them on wild land is not a good idea. For a small, heavily populated country we have some stunning landscapes, but they're under threat of industrialization."
The article also points out the threat to local avian wildlife:
"Research shows, however, that wind farms are killing far more birds than the public realizes. A five-year study in California revealed that the Altamont Pass wind farm kills an average of 40 to 60 golden eagles a year, along with 'several hundred' hawks, falcons and other birds of prey. In Spain, a report commissioned by the regional government of Navarra concluded that 368 turbines at 10 sites had killed nearly 7,000 wild birds in a single year, including 409 vultures, 24 eagles, and 650 bats.
"In Germany, studies show turbines have killed dozens of rare red kites…. Red kites are a conservation success story, brought back from the brink of extinction in this area [of the UK], but two were killed at this small site alone last summer. Other rare British birds are also under threat as the turbines proliferate…. A farm of 27 turbines, each 325ft high, at Edinbane on Skye has planning consent, despite RSPB objections that the site was too close to sea eagles and several breeding pairs of golden eagles, as well as merlin and hen harriers. All four species have the highest possible legal protection."
Finally, as energy consultant and TV personality Professor Ian Fells pointed out, "To meet the 2010 target, Britain will have to build 400 to 500 turbines each year. Each will be a 3MW machine, bigger than anything yet seen. 'I think they'll be doing well to get there by 2020,' Fell says. 'There's some wishful thinking in the latest White Paper. And wind power is not completely clean. You have to build huge concrete foundations and service roads and so on.'"
Fells' fellow TV star, David Bellamy has gone further. The conservationist has already led a march against one proposed new development and told the Manchester Evening News, "Wind farms don't work, -- they ruin people's lives, destroy the countryside, and harm wildlife. It beggars belief that certain members of the Green movement have bought into it."
There are plenty of reasons people are proposing these new commercial ventures, however. One proposed wind farm in West Virginia, would cost $300,000,000 to build, but would recover those costs and then some through various tax shelters and subsidies equaling $325,434,600. In many cases, the profit from this government largesse exceeds the income generated from electricity sales. Wind farm owners enjoy windfall profits at taxpayer expense. Green is very attractive when there are greenbacks involved whatever the harm to local avian life.
In the end, this is an argument between two extremes. The anti-wind forces are right in several ways. Their concerns about wildlife are genuine and justified (certainly more so, given the studies, than the theoretical harm attributed to anthropogenic (manmade) global warming). Yet perhaps more important is that they are correct when they say they are not nimbies. Their belief is not so much NIMBY as BANANA - Build Absolutely Nothing, Anywhere, Near Anyone.

Editor's note: This is the second part of a two-part series about mountain lions in Marin.
Local wildlife officials have told Patch there are probably only two to three mountain lions in all of Marin and, while it's extremely unlikely to encounter one, it can happen.
First, if you see a mountain lion, make sure it's really a mountain lion. Last week we highlighted the differences between mountain lions and bobcats, which are frequently incorrectly reported as mountain lions.
Second, don't panic. There have been no verified mountain lion attacks in Marin since they started being recorded in 1890, according to the California Department of Fish and Game. California has only had 16 verified mountain lion attacks since 1890 and the Bay Area hasn't had any verified attacks since 1909.
Rob Ruiz, Marin County Parks chief park ranger and Zara McDonald, executive director of the Sausalito-based Felidae Conservation Fund, gave us information on what to do if you encounter a mountain lion in the wild and how you can avoid them:
If you see a mountain lion:
- Appear as big as possible
- Maintain eye contact
- Do not approach the animal
- Do not run or turn your back
- Pick up children
- Speak loudly and firmly
- Throw rocks and sticks, etc.
- Fight back if attacked
- Try to take a picture of the wild feline so the sighting can be verified
- Do not call 911, instead contact Felidae Conservation Fund at (415) 229-9335 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or call the Department of Fish and Game office for the Bay Delta region (707) 944-5500.
There are also steps residents can take to avoid drawing mountain lions or bobcats to their property:
- Keep food sources (including pet food) out of the yard
- Keep bushes trimmed so mountain lions and bobcats can't easily hide
- Keep domestic pets safe at night
- Keep garbage clean, because it will draw rats and rodents that will draw bobcats
And finally, steps you can do when you're outdoors to avoid mountain lions:
- Avoid hiking, biking or running alone ("It's never good to jog or bike alone if you are way out in the woods, even if you fall and break your ankle," Ruiz said.)
- Avoid being outside between dusk and dawn
- Keep children close
- Never approach a cougar of any size, especially a kitten
- Avoid deer carcasses (They can feast on one deer carcass for a week, hiding it in bushes and staying in the area. If you ever encounter a deer carcass in bushes with leaves and twigs on top of it, don't stick around, Ruiz said.)
Mountain lions are secretive creatures, Ruiz said. "Wherever you hike, I'm sure one has seen you and you haven't seen it."
It's up to humans to respect the wild felines, Ruiz said. "They live here. They were here before us."
You can find more informatin about living with mountain lions on the Bay Area Puma Project website.

Energy officials offer space heater guidelines after north Fargo fireFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - A fire in North Fargo has firefighters reminding the public to use caution with space heaters. The home had several space heaters, extension cords, and flammable materials and no working smoke detectors.
By: Becky Parker, Associated Press
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - A fire in North Fargo has firefighters reminding the public to use caution with space heaters. The home had several space heaters, extension cords, and flammable materials and no working smoke detectors.
Around 5:30 this morning a neighbor reported a fire at this home on 3rd Avenue North. No one was in the home at the time. The fire is still under investigation, but the department pointed to several space heaters and extension cords throughout the house as a potential cause.
Firefighters spent the morning carrying bag after bag of charred newspaper and other debris out of this North Fargo home.
Captain Tim Binfet – Fargo Fire Department: "There was just a lot of items in the room and in the house, and a lot of charred and blackened debris."
That, along with the space heaters hooked up throughout the house, have firefighters urging the public to be careful with supplemental heating tools.
With more cold weather coming next week, space heaters can provide that little bit of extra warmth, but the thing to keep in mind is that they should never be used as a primary heat source."
Paul Matthys – Cass County Electric: "Do not leave it unattended, and do not use it while you are sleeping."
Paul Matthys with the Cass County Electric Cooperative says space heaters should sit on a hard, flat surface three feet away from any combustibles.
Paul Matthys: "It's a resistive electric element that does the heating and it's a high temperature. So, if it gets close to any combustible material it could ignite it, like newspapers, paper, or furniture."
Also, avoid using long extension cords unless they are approved for the wattage coming through the space heater. Following these guidelines could mean the difference between staying warm and burning the house down.
Matthys also says to make sure you check for what is called a UL mark on any space heater. That ensures they meet the most stringent safety standards.

USDA Food and Nutrition Service has released the latest School Nutrition Dietary Assessment Study. The report provides a comparison of the nutritional quality of school meals between SY 2009−2010, SY 2004−2005, and SY 1998−1999. As in prior studies, the nutrient content of the average meals offered and served in the Nation's schools was compared with regulatory standards in effect at the time—the School Meal Initiative (SMI) nutrition standards—as well as selected recommendations included in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
A selection of key highlights are:
Click here for the full report as well as the report summary.
Last week at the USDA State Agency 2012 Training Workshop hosted by SNA, the USDA announced the launch of its new USDA Foods Mobile site for use on smartphones and tablets. It is currently designed foremost for use by schools and School Nutrition Professionals, but the Department expects to broaden the site's capabilities to other program components in the near future. The mobile site will allow for School Nutrition Professionals to rapidly and easily access key information such as the current meal pattern guidelines, talking points for parents and other interested parties, and which foods are currently available through the USDA Foods Program. Additionally, schools will be able to locate contact information for their State Agencies as well as information on qualifying for the program. The launch of the new mobile site should assist all School Nutrition Professionals by streamlining access to information for those constantly on their feet. Please check out the new site located here.
December 7, 2012 – During USDA's annual State Agency Meeting, hosted by SNA, USDA officials announced the release of new guidance which eliminates the weekly maximums for grains and proteins under the new meal pattern for the remainder of the 2012-13 school year. Calorie maximums for school meals will remain in place. Click here to read the guidance, officially released today. USDA also announced that new guidance on breakfast requirements will be released soon.
SNA President Sandra Ford, SNS, who presented at the meeting, commented, "School nutrition professionals have faced significant menu planning, operating, financial challenges and more as a result of the new meal pattern requirements. USDA's new guidance acknowledges those challenges and gives school meal programs more flexibility. By easing weekly maximums for grains and proteins but maintaining calorie limits, USDA protects the nutritional integrity of the new standards while giving school meal programs more time to design healthy menus that meet both the new standards and students' tastes."
USDA has not announced whether these new flexibilities for grain and protein requirements will continue into the 2013-14 school year, but officials indicated they will continue to assess the requirements over the coming months.
"SNA has been in close communication with USDA this school year, sharing the challenges and successes of SNA members throughout meal pattern implementation, including concerns about the grain and protein weekly maximums," said Ford. "SNA will continue to report back to USDA on how these new flexibilities ease the burden on school meal programs and will make additional recommendations as warranted."

MEAFORD - The Grey Bruce Health Unit revealed the six-month-old baby who died in Meaford on the weekend (Sunday, December 2) was suffering from an infection that spread to his blood.
The condition, called Septicemia, occurs when bacteria infects the blood. It is a serious, life-threatening condition that can worsen very quickly.
OPP were originally investigating the baby's death, but since the autopsy (conducted on Monday, December 3) results revealed the cause, they do not suspect foul play.
The Health Unit issued a statement on Monday, December 3 assuring the public that there are no health risks associated with the case.
"Grey Bruce Health Unit has been made aware of the death of a six month old infant in Meaford this past weekend. We extend condolences to the family on this tragic loss," the statement said.
There is no public health risk.

Stressed about exams? SHEC's got your back! On April 17, 22 and 24, SHEC is working with the Hamilton Burlington SPCA to bring animals in to Mills Library (L113)! We'll be there from 12–1 PM with some adorable dogs who can't wait to help ease your stress.
Find books, journal titles, online resources and other materials in all four campus libraries and affiliates.
Library News
This year you will once again have lots of options when it comes to late night studying during exams.
During the course of a normal day, we create many kinds of documents: letters, photographs, grocery lists, notes, scribbles and maybe even a diary entry. It is such documents, which exemplify the pattern of an ordinary life and one that is interrupted with personal events and meaningful turning points that are found in the Margaret Watkins archive housed in the McMaster Archives.
Are you interested in having a conversation with a human book? Coming this Thursday March 13th, 2014 from 11am-2:30pm, McMaster Library and the Office of Human Rights & Equity Services (HRES) are hosting the Human Library event in the Lyons New Media Centre of Mills Library.

Really? I have never heard that before.
Grand Slam #1005 + 2: Dall (1996 YT), Fannin (1997 YT), Bighorn (1998 CO Unit S-26), Stone (1995 BC), Desert (2001 NV Unit 161), Bighorn (2009 WY Unit 5)
Wish we could do that with deer and elk.
I am going to have to think about that. I think ML season might be better as there will be less competition. Thanks for the heads up though. It would save me having to buy an ML though.....I'll have to think about it.
I drew a tag in Unit 6.
Just waiting on antelope. Just put in for points on elk.

As a math major, you will make connections across many fields and subjects, applying the sophisticated tools of math to a spectrum of topics. There are opportunities to conduct research and work on cutting-edge projects with faculty during the summer.
Christian A. Johnson Hall, better known as CJ, is the locus for math students on the Hamilton College campus, which makes it fertile ground for Alex Gioia '14 in both his majors – math and communication. For his senior thesis in communication, he's taking a look at math anxiety. CJ may be a case study for him; he thinks it could be an environment in which math-anxious students can talk about their problems and reduce their anxiety level.More >>
He figured that might be a good way to bridge his interest in communication and math. His senior math project is a seminar in topology. He and other students are creating a textbook with problems they've wrestled to a solution.
Even with a double major, Gioia was able to squeeze in a semester of study in New Zealand, and work as student fellow for Hamilton's Digital Humanities Initiative. Post-Hamilton, he is looking at a field that tilts toward math – actuarial science.
As a math major at Hamilton College, Mark Kasdorf '06 studied theorems and wrote proofs aplenty. He doesn't crunch the hard numbers anymore, but he solves problems daily as CEO and founder of the iOS application development consulting firm Intrepid Pursuits. He was named Emerging Executive of the Year by the Mass Technology Leadership Council. In 2011, he launched Hamilton's first business pitch competition to introduce entrepreneurship to students.More >>
As for his learning curve, Kasdorff went straight from Hamilton into law school and about halfway through, he started his first company, Burning Hollow Technologies. The company ran out of money in 2010 and to generate enough cash flow to pay two software developers Kasdorf had hired, he started Intrepid Pursuits.
He majored in math because he loved math.
"I don't live and breathe what I majored in," Kasdorf says. "However, there's no doubt in my mind that my Hamilton education was integral in preparing me to do all of the types of things I do today…Hamilton prepared me in so much as it taught me to think."
Hamilton graduates who majored in mathematics are pursuing careers in a variety of fields, including:

Now to keep it going for a few YEARS...........
Champions are made when no one is watching
Nicely done! Here's hoping it's the beginning of a long streak of great months!
"Don't feel like running today...suck it up and run ...you're an athlete." (John Stanton, founder & owner of The Running Room)
"The person who starts the race is not the same person who finishes the race."
Congrats! Keep gooooooooooing!!!
The Irreverent Reverand
Congratulations! It was my first 100-mile month in a long time, too!
Husband. Father of three. Lutheran pastor. Overweight runner. Political junkie. Baseball fan.

No matter how fast you are, you'll never out run a Polar Bear
Squidward Bike Rider
Congrats! Once you go triple-digits, you never want to go back.
day after day sameness
Hey...good news there, John. Good to see you're on the comeback trail !
I've done my best to live the right way; I get up every morning and go to work each day...
2 in a row now! good work John!
THKS Neil ==== I'm getting it going after a dismal winter.........Not running very fast, but at least I'm getting some mileage now.......
as you & I & most experienced runners on RA know, consistency & time on feet (duration/ mileage) are priority #1. Anything else is built on a strong aerobic base. speed comes later and/or at races. anyway keep logging those miles. I'm confident you will pull off a string of those 100 mpm"s
Nice work!
I know the feeling. After like, 6 straight 100+ mile months, I was injured and missed by a lot in February. I woraked my way back up to 100+ the last two months, but life derailed me this time. Coaching obligations, and plain old life obligations made it difficult to hit that magic number. I'll be at 90 by Friday, but I still feel like I cheated myself. Still, life happens and anytime I can hit triple digits, I'm stoked.
Current PRs:
Next race: Ashland 4th of July 10K
Way to go! Congrats!
With my run today I have also gone over 100 miles in a month for my FIRST TIME EVER!!!
2013 goals - one goal: finish my first marathon - 10/13/13
done! 5:50!
Kudos mate!!
